Jay Baruchel had a fail-proof strategy going into his Gala. As he told Chris Locke in the clip below, he’s just going to yell out Montreal-related words (poutine! hockey! Schwartz’s!) in an attempt to kill time with the five-minute applause that follows. And although Jay didn’t get to choose the lineup for his show (which included heavyweights like Amy Schumer, Hannibal Burress, and Bo Burnham), he says he’s really happy with the roster. And glad he wasn’t just introducing a French mime on a unicycle.
